| + | == Background == |
||
| − | '''Bill Harken''' is a former FBI agent and a hyperadrenal Alpha on Rosen's team. His wife [[Jeannie Harken|Jeannie]] thought he was still employed with the FBI. Bill was suspended from the Bureau after getting angry with a colleague and accidentally shoving him through a solid wall; he only planned on staying with Rosen's team until his suspension was over. He's since decided to stay on the team, even though the Bureau offered to reinstate him. |
||
| + | |||
| + | Bill has the ability to enhance his strength and speed triggered by a "fight or flight" response. It is implied that he can activate this state at will. Bill cannot stay in this state for very long or else he will become cripplingly fatigued. Bill suffers from anger management. He has what [[Rosen]] describes as "boundary issues;" he routinely samples other people's food without asking permission. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Bill was a FBI agent, before the series, but was suspended due to harming another agent. Bill joined Rosen's team until his suspension. |
||
| − | ==='''Season One'''=== |
||
| − | ''Episode One'': When we meet Bill Harken, he and his wife are talking about him having been suspended. Because his wife is wearing a FBI t-shirt that is way to big on her, this makes us think that he was suspended from the FBI and this turns out to be correct. When he walks outside to leave, he finds a large SUV blocking his drive way. He then "amps up" and pushes the SUV out of the way. His DoD Alphas Initiative file tells us that he has Enhanced Strength from his fight-or-flight response. When a man witnesses him moving the SUV and is staring at him, he gets a little aggressive and says, "Have a problem?" |

| − | Bill is an African-American. He has a strong build and a slightly shaved head. In the first season of ''Alphas'', he has a "badass beard". But in the second season it is not there. |

| − | == Abilities == |
||
| + | Bill meets with another agent outside the [[Wikipedia:Jacob K. Javits Federal Building|Jacob K. Javits Federal Building]] in New York, New York. The other agent gives Bill some files pertaining to veterans with post-traumatic stress syndrome who have criminal records. In the '''Pilot''' Bill Harken talks with his wife Jeannie before leaving home for the day; outside he finds that a large vehicle is blocking his driveway. He exercises his hyperadrenal capability and pushes the offending vehicle sideways out of his way. He is then contacted by Dr. Rosen to investigate a sniping when they find the guy who did it Bill goes after him eventually catching up to him the man is then revealed to be Cameron Hicks who was being mind controlled by The Ghost, they figure where the Ghost is but who then commits suicide but is then revealed to be a fake The Ghost then takes the opportunity to brainwash Bill and force him to kill Dr. Rosen but is stopped by Nina. In the season finale Bill along with Gary discover who Stanton is and during some events joins the team on the assault of the red flag base he is then attacked by an alpha who can burn things and dispatches of him and another hyperadrenal, after the battle he suffered some burns but recovers and greets Dr Rosen as he heads to D.C to tell the world about alphas. |

| − | As a [[Hyperadrenal]] alpha, Bill has the ability to enhance his strength and speed triggered by a "fight or flight" response which floods his body with adrenaline. At first Bill needed to be in danger or get angry to enter this state but over time he learned to activate it at will. Bill cannot stay in this state for very long or else he will become cripplingly fatigued, however in [[Alpha Dogs]] Bill becomes better at using his ability thanks to [[Kat|Kats]] training. He was able to use his abilities without having any downsides and claims he doesn't need his pills anymore. Bills strength has been enough to push a large SUV several feet with his bare hands and easily break bones and send grown men flying off their feet with one strike. His speed was demonstrated in [[The Quick and the Dead]] when he nearly caught up to [[Eli Aquino]], an alpha moving at nearly ten times normal human speed, but was unable to maintain that speed long enough to catch him. |

| − | * He can stand still and take a beating from three armed men, one of whom is tasing him continuously, without moving. Partially explained by his ability to control his adrenaline rushes, as adrenaline is known to make it easier to ignore pain. The aches, pains, and injuries he must logically have collected don't seem to affect him later, either. |
||
| − | * Though he was as ambivalent towards Gary as everyone else on the team, Bill always laughs at Gary's antics where others would fume in early episodes This provides some early indications of his later friendship with Gary following "Bill and Gary's Excellent Adventure". |
